This summer, Michigan Tech’s Summer Youth Programs office is again partnering with HSC to offer scholarships for students from Midland, Gratiot, Bay, and Saginaw counties to attend an engineering summer camp - for free. The scholarship will cover all costs (including transportation) required to attend the Engineering Scholars Program (ESP) at Michigan Tech. A total of 30 students from these counties will be selected for the HSC award.

Preference will be given to current Juniors, however, all students currently in grades 9-11 are encouraged to apply. The application deadline is 5:00 p.m. April 10, 2022. An overview and all relevant paperwork are available under the “Engineering Scholars Program” on our website.

Engineering Scholars is a weeklong investigation of Engineering careers featuring special topic presentations, interactive group projects, and lab tours. During the course, you’ll get insider info from role models in working in engineering fields, be exposed to many different types of engineering, and get to learn from Michigan Tech faculty, staff, and #CrazySmart graduate students!

Hemlock Semiconductor believes that education is a great equalizer, allowing students from all backgrounds to become anything they choose to be. One of the ways they emphasize the value of education is through community partnerships to develop programs that engage students and ignite their interest in STEM. Michigan Tech is excited to be part of this effort.
